RULES AND TIPS:
1) The sketch of the design must be in black and white and on paper no larger than 11" by 17" in dimensions. No color sketches or oversize paper will be accepted.
2) Keep in mind the logistics of converting the design into a float. While only a very simple sketch is required, more detail can help the decision process. A written explanation of the ideas and representations of the design could be helpful and can be included.
3) The selected designer(s) may be asked for consultation on the Design, Construction and Decoration Committees.
